India Could Order More Homegrown Reactors as Nuclear Push Grows
India is set to order a third fleet of locally designed reactors as part of an ambitious effort to expand nuclear power capacity at a manageable cost, according to people familiar with the plan.
The government is considering seeking bids to build as many as 10 pressurized heavy water reactors with a capacity of 700 megawatts each — a third such bulk order, the people said, asking not to be named as the discussions are still private. The bulk format is intended to improve the government’s negotiating capacity and bring down prices, they said.
